Mystikal: “Being On Young Money Is Very Humbling!”

New Orleans rapper Mystikal was locked up for six years stemming from a rape charge. Now that he’s out, he’s back to rapping with Young Money. The experience has been a humbling one for the former No Limit soldier. Mystikal sat down with Sirius XM’s Hip-Hop Nation to discuss life after prison, how it feels to be signed to Young Money, and how Lil Wayne and Baby saved his life.

When it comes to Mystikal’s feelings of going from prison to a nice record contract, Mystikal said, “My head is still spinning right now. It’s humbling. It’s really humbling to be looking from the six years [in prison], looking up at everything. That’s at the bottom of the barrel. The only thing worse than being in prison is probably death itself. So to do that for six years and then to come home and be on top with the top record label in the world? It’s humbling.”

“The experience prison has taught Mystikal is that he needs to be careful about what he rhymes about in his music. He also communicated how blessed he feels to be in the space and time he’s in right now. “That was nothing but God that allowed this situation to unfold like this,” the rapper offered. “After the debacle, and everything that happened, God still showed up at the end.”

When he was asked about Lil Wayne and Baby’s impact on him, Mystikal replied, “They didn’t save my career; they saved my life.”

Now that Mystikal is out of prison and is getting his life back together, will you be supporting his new music or was “Shake It Fast” the biggest song he’ll ever have? Sound off in the comments.
